The BMW 3 Series (E46) excelled from 1998 to 2006 as the last 3 Series generation with hydraulic power steering and an unadulterated driving feel. The 330i with its 3.0-litre inline-six and 231 PS was the sportiest regular engine in the E46 — commanding and eager to rev. The six-cylinder E46 variants offered the perfect symbiosis of comfort and sportiness — a benchmark that many successors struggled to match.
